Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

A 19 yr old girl was kidnapped at a Massachusetts airport and deported to Honduras, illegally.
A judge already said she was not to be deported.
She was headed to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She did not make it.

The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value.
That's profit stolen from you through the Banks, Energy Companies, and Supermarkets they own.
But the problem is someone getting £10 on Universal Credit?

In 2021 Good Law Project went for an Orwell Prize for uncovering the Covid PPE VIP lane - an issue which helped bring down the last Government. We didn't even get shortlisted - one of the judges was a Director General under the last Government working on... the Covid response. 😂
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise
